Denny C.L. vs. State Of Kerala
Held
The High Court allowed the writ petition, making its earlier interim order absolute. It directed the Sub Inspector of Police to provide adequate and effective protection to the petitioner and his employees for carrying out loading and unloading activities from any threat by the respondent trade unions.
Facts
The petitioner sought police protection to operate his showroom and conduct loading/unloading activities in Erumapetty, Kerala, without interference from local trade unions. The Kerala Head Load Workers Welfare Fund Board confirmed that the area where the petitioner operates is not a scheme-covered area.
Key Issues
The key legal issue was whether the petitioner was entitled to police protection against interference from trade unions for his business operations, specifically loading and unloading, in an area not covered by the Head Load Workers Scheme.
